Unfortunately there was no hack available for my DVD player so I couldn't try that. I'm curious, have you tried playing any PAL format DVDs (assuming you're in the US or Canada?)

--Previous Message-- : I made my dvd player region free just by : googling the model of my player + region : free hacks. Now it's region free and will : play anything. gice it a try. Also, most of : the cheaper dvd players are already region : free : : --Previous Message-- : Another problem besides the region coding is : that the DVDs are PAL format which most US : TVs and DVD players won't play. There are : region free DVD/Blu Ray players that also : convert the PAL format to NTSC so your TV : will play it properly. : : I ended up buying a blu ray player (I didn't : have one and wanted to upgrade from my DVD : player) that was region free and also : converted PAL to NTSC from this website: : : http://www.220-electronics.com/: : There are other websites as well: : : http://www.world-import.com/: http://www.bombayelectronics.com/: : And others as well. The 220-electronics : site was mentioned favorably on some forums : I had read. They shipped quickly and the : player works very well, although as of yet I : haven't been able to try playing a PAL : format disk since I don't have any on hand. : : If you don't want to go to the expense of : buying a region free player which also : converts PAL to NTSC, you can play the DVDs : on your computer. However, most of the time : your computer's DVD player will only allow : you to switch regions a total of 5 times or : so, so I guess your best bet would be to rip : the DVDs to your hard drive which takes out : the region coding. Then you can play them : all you like on your computer. : : I'm definitely no expert, this is just what : I've been able to find out with some Google : searches. Maybe we've got somebody here who : is much more knowledgeable? It's hard to : find up-to-date info about this problem. : : --Previous Message-- : I think I may have to invest in a region : free : player because I want a set of these! : : Had lunch with Paul Sinor today and saw some : photos on his phone from the LA : reunion/documentary shoot. They sure seemed : to be having fun, esp Terry and Tony. : : Must go scout out those players...if anyone : has a good source, let me know! : : Doc : : : : :
